LIVERPOOL: Steven Gerrard knows his place in Liverpool's hall of fame is already assured, but the Anfield captain won't feel satisfied until he has ended the club's 19-year wait to be crowned kings of England.
When legendary former Reds manager Bill Shankly described the league as Liverpool's "bread and butter" in the 1960s, he was emphasising the club's desire to be champions of England above all other prizes.
It seemed that philosophy had been consigned to the history books when Rafael Benitez arrived at Anfield in 2004.
